Who is behind Savukku.net (WikiLeaks of India)?

Ever since I've given my Humble Award to Savukku, I've started getting hits about the person behind Savukku website (Julian Assange of Savukku?). In fact, I wasn't aware of the identity of the person behind the Savukku and so I collected the following information.

Name: Shankar
Age: 35
Previous job: Staff of directorate of vigilance and anti-corruption (DVAC). He was suspended and arrested for alleged leaking of taped conversation
Marital status: Single, living with mother (Heleena told me that she read somewhere about this)
Native: Tanjore
Photo: Lifted from blogintamil.blogspot.com shows he's arrested on alleged road rage

Using Sodexo Meal Pass Card in BigBasket.com - How-to

How to Use Sodexo Meal Pass Card in Bigbasket.com Sodexo started to issue Smart Card similar to Credit Card--instead of their usual paper based vouchers.

I was using Sodexo vouchers for longtime, but it was a big letdown when I can't get some of my unused vouchers renewed. And so, I was somehow happy with their new Meal Pass Card. But, again, it was a big letdown as I can't use it with BigBasket--where I usually use most of my meal coupon vouchers.
SMS message from Sodexo on December 20, 2017 1:18 PM came as a big surprise, as I was waiting for this for longtime:
Great News! Pay with your Sodexo Meal Card for food items ordered from Big Basket. Choose Sodexo in the payment section & pay on delivery.

And so, this month, I tried to use my Sodexo Meal Pass Card in BigBasket.

BigBasket website had not much information; I thought that I have to swipe my Meal Pass Card. Delivery person also didn't have much information; initially he was rejecting my Card! I tried to contact …

Who is S.P. Udayakumar, (Koodankulam anti-nuclear) activist of the year

I greatly admired S.P. Udayakumar (Koodankulam anti-nuclear activist) for his calm and composed response; it is usually not easy to reply moronic Narayanasamy and moronic Ponraj (advisor of Abdul Kalam) who're always blabbering irrationally. By wrongly judging from his sober and humble look, I'd thought that he's an illiterate villager from Koodankulam. But, recently I came to know that he's studied in USA and worked as a professor there. My respect for him greatly increased when I compared him with other exhibitionist NRIs.

Here are the details that I collected...

Name: S.P. Udayakumar
Age: 50
Native: Nagercoil
Family: Wife Meera running SACCER primary and middle school, 2-sons

Converting PSD with PHP/ImageMagick

After seeing feature rich options in Imagick PECL extension at Mikko Koppanen's (the author) website and also impressed with ImageMagick's features, I have decided to use it for the PSD to XHTML conversion website that I'm architecting and managing.

Since, the team wants programming help for converting PSD images, I have tried it (documentation is sparse on PSD handling)

Converting PSD to PNG/JPEG/etc
Note that, flattenImages() is needed for layered/multi-page PSD file.

<?php
$im = new Imagick('test.psd');
$im->flattenImages();
$im->setImageFormat('png');
$im->writeImage('test.png');
?>

Extracting PSD layers
One by one

<?php
$im = new Imagick('test.psd');
$im->setImageFormat('png');
for ($i = 0, $num_layers = $im->getNumberImages(); $i < $num_layers; ++$i) {
$im->setImageIndex($i);
$im->writeImage('layer' . $i . '.png');
}
?>

Note that, there is a better version below

In a single call with write…
